So, this happened…the pumpkin tea spiced whiskey project

With the last few days of autumn ahead, it was about time I got down to sharing this seasonal specialty. It’s wonderful and warming and just like taking your first bite of spiced pumpkin bread after the first chilly day in October, especially when shaken with a bit of maple syrup over apple cider.

Pour everything into a large bottle or jar. You can easily use the actual whiskey bottle, just make sure someone drinks a bit first – or put aside to add into a sauce or marinade before you get started. Let sit one week, shaking occasionally. There is no real need to strain the final product. It will simply become even more flavorful as time goes on.

Incorporate into your favorite seasonal cocktails and hot toddies. For me, that begins with the F*ck yeah, it’s fall!
